should i change chiropractors?

[die faster]

the guy ive been going to usually does a good job. gets all my spine joints popped and aligned and puts the electric pad on my lower back and loosens everything up. but the last 2 times ive went, he didnt really crack my lower back, he tried but it didnt really do it.

when you go, do they get that spot "cracked" every time you go? i got another appointment next week, every 5 weeks. usually the pain doesnt start creeping back on me till at least 3-4 weeks after i go but this time it never really went away

I would talk to your current chiro about your concern before you jump ship. he will be able to work through it if he's a legit good chiro

Way too little info bro. When are you going? Before workout, after? What was your workout the day before? Are you injured? BTW, Yes I am a D.C.

i go every 5 weeks. usually ill go after my workout that day and take off the next. could be any workout, but after, i always avoid squats or deadlifts for the next couple of days. im not injured but i do have some damage done to my lower back from hunching over in and out of a work van for a few years

well i will say this.. a good chiropractor won't have you keep coming back over and over and over. a couple treatments and advice for what you should work on at home or do different and he should cut you loose. sounds like this guy is trying to fund his kids braces or college tuition on your back.

I was going to add this too, I have started taking Astaxanthin for joints. It has helped my lower back pain big time. I have taken many products for lower back and nothing really seemed to help. It's cheap too. I take 8 mg a day and it has helped a lot. Astaxanthin is derived from Salmon, it's what makes Salmon Pink.

he says i need to come back because i have done some bad damage to my lower back. and the pain comes back after about 4 weeks anyway. when i first started going, there was a couple times that i came to my next appointment and i didnt have any pain at all and he said everything looks good and to just call him when i need another appointment. but the last two times he didnt even crack my lower back (he tried and it didnt work i guess) and the pain never really went away.
